When the MARC Cars Australia first-generation racers were built back in time for the 2014 Bathurst 12 Hour, the Queensland-based team decided on identifying its race cars via an alternative to chassis numbers. “We decided to have a bit of fun and create some identities with the cars, so we named them after famous circuits that we had competed at,” said team owner and MARC creator Ryan McLeod. “We started with the A car which was Amaroo, and all this time it has been owned by Keith Kassulke until only recently.
